I remember reading about that a long time ago. However, have you seen my post on Pascal's Wager? That was my ultimate conclusion. I think there are greater benefits in acting like AGW is real than there are costs. Having said that, I'm not a believe in carbon markets or any of that B.S., which is just an excuse for the gov't to get involved in what should be a free market in energy. However, I do root on folks like Elon Musk and others who are trying to change the world by leveraging stock sales to get the money to bring renewable energy and RE cars, etc. to the market at scale. Those projects are rapidly lowering the costs and many forms of RE are already cost competitive, like wind and solar. Then those who say that the intermittency issue is the achilles heel are not imaginative enough. Batteries will eventually solve those problems, whether it is through big battery storage like Musk's or whether it is through highly distributed storage networks using cars, or home storage units, etc.
